The <=132 frame rule is only valid at MacroBlock level not at frame one. Following it gives worse compression even with IP sequence.(B-Frames doesn't accumulate error)

Does absolutely nothing at the moment.
.
.TP
.B keyint=<0\-300>
maximum interval between keyframes in frames (default: 250 or one
keyframe every ten seconds in a 25fps movie).
Keyframes are needed for seeking as seeking is only possible to a keyframe, but
keyframes need more space than other frames, so larger numbers here mean
slightly smaller files but less precise seeking.
0 is equivalent to 1, which makes every frame a keyframe.
Values >300 are not recommended as the quality might be bad depending upon
decoder, encoder and luck.
For a strict MPEG-1/2/4 compliance this would have to be <=132.

.TP
.B sc_threshold=<-1000000000\-1000000000>
Threshold for scene change detection.
A keyframe is inserted by libavcodec when it detects a scene change.

.B keyint=<0\-300>
maximum interval between keyframes in frames (default: 250 or one
keyframe every ten seconds in a 25fps movie. This is recommended default for MPEG-4).
Most codecs require regular keyframes in order to limit the accumulation of mismatch error. 
Keyframes are also needed for seeking as seeking is only possible to a keyframe, but
keyframes need more space than other frames, so larger numbers here mean
slightly smaller files but less precise seeking.
0 is equivalent to 1, which makes every frame a keyframe.
Values >300 are not recommended as the quality might be bad depending upon
decoder, encoder and luck.
It is a common for MPEG-1/2 to use values <=30.
